Our History

One of the largest gasoil, gasoline, bitumen and fuel oil traders in the Mediterranean

We launched a commodities business in Lebanon in 1937, starting out as a grain and asphalt trading company. In 1963, we entered the Lebanese oil industry. At first, we were primarily involved in the local marketing of oil products and the importation of bitumen. However, six years later in 1969, we began trading oil in the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Arabian Gulf.

After cementing our position as an industry pioneer in the Mediterranean through strong links with the Middle East, we entered the Black Sea, European, Asian and US markets. Today our trading activities span across the five continents internationally.

We have grown to employ a group of 250 employees and are capitalising on our hard-earned expertise and long-standing commercial relationships by entering new markets and expanding business lines.
